Popular prophecy in sixteenth-century England : by mouth and pen in the alehouse and from the pulpit / Frances M. Gladwin.

Abstract

Presents non-scriptural prophecy as an example of shared culture from a historical perspective, rather than a literary one. Further uncovers the interests and motivations of non-learned adherents of prophecy and ultimately reveals that many people in the sixteenth century shared a common interest in prophecy that transcended social and other boundaries.
